- The differences between the product codes
- The MSR of each product code
- The serial number range of each product code
I will report back when I receive the formal letter of authenticity.

I finally received the letter from Smith and Wesson, it was very light on the information I requested and focused more on the history of the 5900 series. There were a few interesting tidbits, but probably not worth the $50 I sent in.
1) My pistol was mfg on 12/23/1998, but wasn't shipped until 11/8/2000. It seems interesting that it would be sitting around the S&W factory for nearly 2 years before being delivered.
2) It was delivered to Lew Horton Distributing. I wonder if Lew Horton was the distributer for all the domestic Super 9s.
3) There were only 40 made.
4) The serial number range is KJF4555 - KJF4594
